Unique Identity

Halt! Who goes there? It’s just meee!
Cyber-thieves recently hacked the International Monetary Fund. They also successfully hacked Sony, Google and Lockheed. Malicious hackers also breached WordPress.com, potentially impacting Yahoo, Flickr, NASA and the New York Times. Other hacked sites include the U.S. Postal Service and Hyundai.

Meanwhile, I can’t remember my own passwords. I forget also the answers to password reminder questions like “Who was your first grade teacher?”
It was either Miss Canfield, Miss Landers or Mrs. Rayburn, but I’m not completely sure which…

Perhaps most frightening of all is the fact that these type of attacks could quite easily be directed towards Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organizations, for example Energy and Water, where the impact of such a breach would have severe, immediate and potentially life-threatening consequences for everyday citizens.
Quotation from Mohan Koo, Dtex Systems

Perfect Resume

Perfect Resume

You do not want your resume to say more than you are willing to admit. Such as: My work experience includes being a Night Stalker at WalMart. I am currently on maturity leave.

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
Quotation from Carl Sagan

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
Quotation from George Carlin

Mea Culpa

Mea Culpa

What did you wish for? I can’t tell you, because then it won’t come true.
Wishes are the opposite of worries.
I hate asking myself “What’s the worse that can happen?” because I already know.
If I think about them, they might come true. And I’d have nobody to blame but myself.
Mea culpa.

Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
Quotation from Arthur Somers Roche

Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
Quotation from Lily Tomlin

Vampire. It doesn’t mean forever.

Vampire. It doesn’t mean forever.

Do you feel like trying something dangerous “until it scares me?” Whether it’s roller coasters, mountain climbing or walking alone at night, we believe we can debark, return from the path we have taken and turn the key to our homes, safe and magically invulnerable. We think “It won’t happen to me.”

It is no more common for vampires to be psychopaths or killers than it is for any random person on the street. However, a prolonged, or very involved, relationship with a vampire can put a severe strain on the emotional and psychic energy systems of an ordinary person.
Quotation from Inanna Arthen, Real Vampires (EarthSpirit.com)

Survival Instinct (do whatever it takes)

Survival Instinct (do whatever it takes)

(1) When it burns, stop running. (2) Put a billfold in your mouth so you don’t bite your tongue. (3) Tie a balloon around your waist with string and roll until the balloon breaks. (4) Don’t pee on a jellyfish sting. Pour vinegar on it instead.

On a large enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Quotation from Chuck Palahniuk

Love is a Strange Blend

Love is a Strange Blend

Yin asked me to tell you, Jenny, that she loves you
and she’s sorry. She didn’t sleep last night, and she
waited for you, and she waited and she waited…

I was led into love with an eager palm,
full of life and vigour and youth.
I was shunted from love with the back of the hand,
careless, selfish and uncouth.
The winds do moan as the trees howl from their roots
and the days grow cold, as the nights grow fierce
with the remembrance of the lover’s previous hold
and the bittersweet tear for the wisdom untold.
Poem by Claudia Fitzgerald,
“Who so loves, believes the impossible.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
Quotation from Ingrid Bergman

The Runaway Runway Bag

The Runaway Runway Bag

This happened of a friend of mine. She loaded her groceries,
then drove off with her handbag still on top of the car.
Which begs the question: What did her bag say about her?

In fashion it’s good not to have too many principles.
Quotation from Ines De La Fressange

Never offend people with style when
you can offend them with substance.
Quotation from Tony Brown

p.s. I’m away for a few days.

Hell Week, Part 2: Finding Pleasure in Lust

Hell Week, Part 2: Finding Pleasure in Lust

I’m overwhelmingly reasonable. I hate losing my sense of control.
That’s why Lust seems so appealing to me. Lust is a careless sin
one can feel good about (with apologies to those who feel otherwise).

Lust Dulls the Spiritual Senses (Whitestone Journal)
The Difference between Love, Lust & Marriage (The Humor Bin)

“Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is
to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all.”
Quotation from Marquis de Sade,
L’Histoire de Juliette ou les Prospérités du Vice

“Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.”
Quotation from St. Augustine, Enchiridion

“When, Goddess, thou liftst up thy wakened Head,
Out of the Mornings purple bed,
Thy Quire of Birds about thee play,
And all the joyful world salutes the rising day.”
Poem by Abraham Cowley, Hymn: To Light

Tomorrow: Hell Week, Part 3: Why I’m a Glutton.
